Sometimes, when you’re on a really tight schedule, the dog will roll in something extra fishy and foul. Davy Jones had his first emergency bath last night. He was not impressed, and frankly felt a little betrayed by Mom. 😂

Screenshot of the television show Fry and Laurie. Stephen Fry is bent over a desk looking at papers. Hugh Laurie is standing in front of the desk, looking down at the papers. Fry asks “Do you have special skills of any kind?” Directly underneath is a screenshot. Fry and Laurie are now looking at each other. Laurie says “I look good in black.”

Found a flicker on the morning walk with the pup. Got to listen to its calls before it flew away. Pretty cool!

Current read: My Real Children by Jo Walton. Love this. Adore a parallel universe plot. Really struck by the restrictions the main character Patty lives under, as a young woman in Britain during the 1940’s-1960’s. I was born in 1986 so growing up was quite a different experience.

A screenshot of the web comic The Oatmeal. In the background, one twisted tree with googly eyes and red flowers in its very full and bushy green leaves says “Look, Cindy! Our lovemaking has moved that man to tears.” A second similarly looking tree says “LET US NEVER STOP!” A round, mostly bald man in a grey tee shirt and black pants is hunched over with his hands on his back, eyes watering profusely as he sneezes while saying “AH-CHOO!” The Oatmeal

A wooden black table has cards depicting food you’d find at a sushi restaurant. There are 3 stacks of cards face down. The manual for the game is on the bottom left. The board is in the top left corner. It is designed like a sushi conveyor belt marked with points and slots in the middle for the available cards in play for that round. Brightly colored meeples are grouped together around the outer track of the board. There are glasses and cans of beer, crackers, and sliced meat in the middle of the table

First board game of 2025 Fiancé and I played was Sagrada!

We’ve really struggled to get game nights to happen, between schedules and a doggy with anxiety.

Really enjoyed this one. Game elements are very pretty. I kept breaking placement rules and to remove dice whoops!

Doggo says “Where’s the hecking couch gone?”
😂

Two days until the new couch arrives and our little man is very confused.
A small black dog with tan feet is standing with his tail down in a carpeted and mostly empty living room. He looks confused. You can see on the rug the indentations where the couch used to be.

Murder by Lamplight by Patrice McDonough.

A serial killer in London’s Whitechapel district in 1867 being investigated by a female doctor.

First in a series. Not too far in but enjoying it and think I’ll continue!
Book Cover. Text on top is the book’s title. It says “Murder by Lamplight” in the foreground is a woman in an off white Victorian gown standing sideways, looking behind her. Her brown hair is halfway pulled up in a bun, with long shoulder length curls underneath. She is carrying a large leather handbag at her side. She is looking at a man in the background walking toward her through the foggy night over a stone bridge. The man is dressed in a black cape and top hat. Big Ben (the clock tower) can be seen behind him
